Hi, I'm getting the following error when I run my Perl application
--------------------------------------------- cannot load DB_File for StateDB: cannot load StateDB must be a valid perl module with a db tied hash interface such as: SDBM_File (default), or DB_File; Can't locate DB_File.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ./lib /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/sun4- solaris /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 . /usr/local/lib/perl5/si te_perl/5.8.6//sun4- solaris /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/ /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8 .6/sun4- solaris /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.6 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr /local/apache/ /usr/local/apache/lib/perl) at (eval 56) line 2. at (eval 56) line 2 Apache::ASP::BEGIN() called at DB_File.pm line 2 eval {...} called at DB_File.pm line 2 eval 'use DB_File ;' called at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Apache/ASP.pm line 1953 Apache::ASP::LoadModules('Apache::ASP=HASH (0x442760)', 'StateDB', 'DB_File') called at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Apache/ASP/StateManager.pm line 50 Apache::ASP::InitState('Apache::ASP=HASH(0x442760)') called at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Apache/ASP.pm line 418 Apache::ASP::new('Apache::ASP', 'Apache=SCALAR (0x2cb6dc)', '/usr/local/apache/htdocs/display.asp') called at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Apache/ASP.pm line 181 Apache::ASP::handler('Apache=SCALAR(0x2cb6dc)') called at DB_File.pm line 2 eval {...} called at DB_File.pm line 2 BEGIN failed-- compilation aborted at (eval 56) line 2. at (eval 56) line 2 eval 'use DB_File ;' called at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Apache/ASP.pm line 1953 Apache::ASP::LoadModules('Apache::ASP=HASH (0x442760)', 'StateDB', 'DB_File') called at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Apache/ASP/StateManager.pm line 50 Apache::ASP::InitState('Apache::ASP=HASH(0x442760)') called at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Apache/ASP.pm line 418 Apache::ASP::new('Apache::ASP', 'Apache=SCALAR (0x2cb6dc)', '/usr/local/apache/htdocs/display.asp') called at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Apache/ASP.pm line 181 Apache::ASP::handler('Apache=SCALAR(0x2cb6dc)') called at (eval 56) line 2 eval {...} called at (eval 56) line 2 , /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/Apache/ASP.pm line 1955 --------------------------------------------- What I understood from this error is that the DB_File module is not installed. So I tried installing the DB_File module. But then I get the following error :( --------------------------------------------- Note (probably harmless): No library found for -ldb Writing Makefile for DB_File cp DB_File.pm blib/lib/DB_File.pm AutoSplitting blib/lib/DB_File.pm (blib/lib/auto/DB_File) gcc -c -I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB/include -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe - I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O - DVERSION=\"1.811\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.811\" -fPIC "- I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.6/sun4-solaris/CORE" -D_NOT_CORE - DmDB_Prefix_t=size_t -DmDB_Hash_t=u_int32_t version.c version.c:30:16: db.h: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `version.o' /usr/ccs/bin/make -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible --------------------------------------------- I couldn't find a proper solution for this problem. I saw some suggestions of installing BerkeleyDB. But isn't that overkill. Do we really need to install the DB_File and BerkleyDB modules to work with Apache::ASP? I also thought of using MLDBM::Sync::SDBM_File instead of DB_File. But it's mentioned that The output caching layer is a file dbm based output cache that runs on top of the MLDBM::Sync so inherits its performance characteristics. With CacheDB set to MLDBM::Sync::SDBM_File, the cache layer is very fast at caching entries up to 20K in size, but for greater cached items, you should set CacheDB to another dbm like DB_File or GDBM_File. So will it be a good idea to use MLDBM::Sync::SDBM_File? Could you please let me know how to resolve this Apache::ASP error.
